LatestTraveling through parallel worlds is possible. But are they safe? Alexey, a physics student and a talented programmer, will have to find out. After his father's mysterious disappearance, he goes in search of him and finds out that he was by no means an ordinary professor of quantum mechanics. He made a unique discovery — the Multiverse exists. Alternative versions of each person live in different worlds. But interference in the life of parallel worlds from the outside can lead to devastating consequences. Right up to complete annihilation. In search of his father, Alexey finds himself in a mysterious Office, whose employees confront Hunters led by Antidok, a brilliant scientist who wants to subjugate all the worlds of the Multiverse.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Efremov explicitly cited Soviet sci-fi tradition of 'scientific romanticism' — where wonder and institutional dread coexist. The Office's kafkaesque procedures nod to Bulgakov and Strugatsky.
Tabakov played four distinct Alexeys using only costume and posture changes; no VFX doubles. The 'Hunters' masks were 3D-printed from scans of actual Soviet gas masks.
